: : : I now have the first diesel engine I have ever owned. It smokes a bit, but it doesn't seem to use oil. Question: Could the smoke be from poor injectors and not worn rings as in a gasoline engine? I would like to rebuild this engine one day, but if I can get away with just putting in new injectors for now I would do it. Need some advice and info. Thanks.
: : Injectors might just be dirty....a container of fuel conditioner might work miracles for you. Otherwise clean your injectors. If that doesnt work check your timing.A screwed up diesel usually blows black smoke. If you are getting blue it still may be oil. Good luck!!!!
: : Chris : It's normal for a diesel engine to smoke a sometimes.
: It's also normal for a diesel to consume just a little oil. : Try the simple solution first - upgrade your fuel. : ** #2 fuel oil will make even my cleanest burning tractor smoke.
: ** Kero will signifigantly reduce smoke from the tractor that smokes the most. : Be careful with Kero because it makes the engine burn hotter -
: great for starting a engine in cold weather, not so good in the
: summer. Kero is too dry to lube pump properly. Use the premium no.2. Nobody uses stove fuel in engines any more This fuel is red. Use no1 or blend in winter. Some of the older engines will smoke a lot. it was a charactoristic of them
